Daily OS Thread - Friday 20th February

Well done.
If you keep to your OS ways (most of the time ), even if you have some more money coming in, you will be able to spend the money on other more exciting things .
When I gave up work to be a SAHM we took a big income cut and things are tight but OS helps us.
I am in a tricky situation right now as my dodgy back has been getting dodgier (and making me tired) so not always having the energy to be as OS as I would like, eg I bought ready made sausage rolls (which I could easily make) and also now gone from real nappies to sposies at 20 months (to save washing and having to hang it up but of course more cost now- BUT more incentive to potty train him as soon as he is ready!). This said I do try to be OS when I can.
Anyway, well done again.

Congratulations mrsmx5 :T - isn't it a good feeling to get through Christmas, and start the New Year with no debt.

This is the first year that I've ever managed it and I'm working :rolleyes: - my own kids are all adults but I've got 5 grandchildren, 1 ds's g/f's child, 2 very young nieces and 1 young great-niece. (How I wish they would all get themselves exhausting hobbies )

Well done mrsmx5!

I too have been helped massively by this board the people on it are great, so helpful & generous with sharing their recipes, ideas & lifestyles. I have recently increased my family by taking in a 16yo young man & I wouldn't have been able to cope with the food bills if it hadn't been for this board. It's a great feeling isn't it knowing that you are doing everything you can to help the family budget? Enjoy your payday on the 28th you've certainly earned it!

Well done, good on you!!!
I love OS :T

The only problem is I could spend ALL day on here and not get anything else done (like this morning for example :rotfl: )
